"The only problem is, (Irvin) was so quiet â people weren't talking about him. And quite honestly, that made me uncomfortable," Schneider told KJR-AM via SeattlePI.com.

Teams talk about the players they don't want. They try to stay quiet about the guys they hope fall in the draft.

Schneider also admitted he saw three defensive players standing apart from the pack in this draft: safety Mark Barron, linebacker Luke Kuechly and Irvin. He swears that Irvin ranked the highest of the trio. Teams always say that sort of thing, but Schneider is more credible because he was so open about Seattle's other first-round options.
